Bagged 91 Dodge Dakota - Air Ride, Custom, Stereo
1991 Dodge Dakota Description
Bagged 91 Dodge Dakota - has been used as a show truck for the past 10 years/garage kept. The truck has been in storage for thelast year. I'm selling this truck as a project as it currently is not driveable. It will be sold as-is with no warranty - all sales will be final. This is still a head-turner, I'm just ready to move on to another project. Please see below for a detailed description.
The Good
- Custom hand-painted pinstriping on the hood, down the sides of the truck, air tanks, visors inside, lettering on roll pan.
- Molded in side skirts on the side of the truck, Street-Scene Front Valance with mesh insert/fog lights/smooth front bumper, shaved grill plate with billet insert, clear corner lights, APC Roll Pan on back with aftermarket taillights.
- Saved Door Handles and Stake Pockets
- Billet Side Mirrors
- Tinted windows
- Full Air Ride Suspension - F.B.S.S. (2- 7 Gallon Tanks, 2- 400c Viair Compressors, 8 - 3/8" Danz Brass Valves, 1/2 - Air Line, All Brass and Nickel Fittings, RE-6 Slam Specialties in front, RE-7 Slam Specialties in rear, 2" drop spindles, small bolt in c-notch, parallel 4-link,AVS 7button black switchbox, has tank pressure gage and bag gages mounted in truck as well as a cut-off switch to run the compressors. Compressors will only run up to 150 psi. if you want to run up to 200 psi, you would need different compressors, still is pretty quick with the 150 psi, very quick if you decide to run higher. The air line/fittings/bags were all new back in 2014.
- 20" Chrome Panther Juice wheels (I have two spares, one spare tire/ the spare tire and one spare rim is brand new).
- Custom interior minus the floors - (Tweed door panels with plexiglass Crossfire logos, tweed and vinyl headliner, pinstriped visors, painted trim pieces, APC bucket seats, APC steering wheel,billet rear-viewmirror. Currently no carpet.
- Custom Stereo - monitor in the passenger side dash along with monitor in custom box covered in tweedbetween seats/box has dvd player that is hooked up to monitors. Blow-through sub enclosure (sub box sits in bed cut-out - 4 12" Crossfire subs run by Class D Power Acoustik Amp mounted in middle of seats on floor, also has 2 sets of Crossfire speakers in the door run by another Power Acoustik Amp that is mounted on back wall of passenger side, the sub box is all covered in tweed along with large plexiglass Crossfire logo that runs across the bottom back wall - this logo lights up blue controlled off switch). The subs hit in the low 140's for DB's - this stereo set-up alone would cost around $3,500 between the equipment and installation.
- New Rack and Pinion put in back in 2014, truck has dual batteries - one in the usual spot and one in bed of truck which is yellow-top Optima).
- Custom Fit flush mount tonneau cover that is controlled by shocks.
The Bad
- The steering needs attention which is the not driveable part - last shop that looked at it said it would need a new steering column, would also need an alignment after that. The steering has vibration and is loose.
- The truck has been sitting and not driven at all the last year, not driven much besides maybe 500 miles a year for shows before that. So, it could use a good run-through in the engine, etc. I do notice there is some oil that is under truck when it sits - I believe it may have been related to a rear main seal.
- There is no carpet, I ripped it out to see how the floors looked underneath which show some rotting on the sides of each truck - see pics. The floor pans on each side were replaced with steel plates years back.
- The frame shows some sagging in the bed of the truck - not sure what all needs to be done, I had intentions of doing a back half. I guess this depends on what you feel is best when you see underneath the truck, but I do feel it needs attention.
- Currently, there are two buttons in bed of truck for emergency when popping the doors (only the driver door is working, not sure what's going on with the passenger side, my remote is not working - could just be battery related - may be worth while to replace the setup which I think you can pick one up for around $100).
- The wheels still look nice, but are showing some wear/pitting. I do have two spares, one being brand new so you can choose the four you think look best.
- The paint is showing some signs of wear as well as the molded skirts, again - the exterior of the truck still shows nice and will turn heads, but it has worn over the years - I'd rate it a 7/5/10.
- When pulling out from a parking lot, the exhaust hit. Currently, it's just a down pipe that runs out from the muffler so it looks like it needs a new bracket and welded back in place.
What I'm selling is a truck I've spent the last 10 years customizing. I've been to plenty of custom shows over the years and this always does well. Back when I was taking this to shows, it won at places such as Carlisle All Truck Nationals, Scrape By the Lake, etc. Yes, it does need some work to get it road-worthy again, but what you have to start with is all quality air ride parts, a custom interior minus the carpet, and custom wheels/accessories. The engine needs some TLC, the steering needs attention, and the frame is something you will want to decide for yourself. Even with those issues - between the wheels, accessories, interior, and air-ride -I have well over $10,000 invested that you're starting with.
The buyer will be responsible for setting up their own delivery service for transporting the truck or pick up themselves. Any questions - feel free to message me and please submitany offers if you're interested. Again, this is being sold as-is, no warranties, no returns. Thank you.
